John Vines commented on ACCUMULO-1633:
--------------------------------------

I was under the impression that it was actually at .5*maxMem that it started flushing things in an attempt to prevent things from blocking. But that's irrelevant for this discussion.

> I inadvertently provided 0l to the maxMemory argument to create a BatchWriter and my code immediately sat idle.
> Once I figured out my problem, I was surprised that no validation was applied to the value. This can cause a BatchWriter to sit indefinitely as it waits trying to "free memory". It would be good to have a "reasonable" minimum (1KB?) to the BatchWriter/BatchDeleter/MultiTableBatchWriter.
